King of Assassins-Chapter 928 - 650: Beginning_2

Any person with normal intelligence would know that there must have been intense conflicts and confrontations for the Five Great Families to rise to power.

A thousand years ago, among the Twelve Golden Bloodline Families, eight disappeared. Among them was the line of Hercules.

Since childhood, Shui Yunlan had heard from the elders in her family to be wary of the descendants of the original Golden Family. If something seemed wrong, measures had to be taken decisively.

This time coming to Sea Emperor Star, Shui Yunlan hadn't thought much of it. But the sudden change in situation left her no choice but to think more.

What worried Shui Yunlan was that she couldn't connect to the Celestial Net from here. The only good news was being able to connect to Cyberspace. However, logging into Cyberspace was quite troublesome, and using it for communication was very inconvenient.

For a Paladin, connecting to Cyberspace during battle means applying for permissions and obtaining the power of the Divine Emperor.

The more Shui Yunlan thought, the more anxious she felt, yet she had to maintain a facade of calm.

Hai Ting noticed Shui Yunlan's emotional fluctuations and softly said, "I mean no harm. I don't want to be your enemy either."

She pointed to Jin Hongtao and the others, "They insisted on coming to me on their own, so I had no choice."

Shui Yunlan hesitated and asked, "What is it that you really want?"

Hai Ting shook her head, "It won't help even if I tell you; you wouldn't understand."

She sighed helplessly, "Since it has come to this, we have no choice but to fight to the death. Either you die or I die."

As she spoke, Hai Ting nodded slightly. Jin Hongtao and the others, receiving the signal, activated their Sword Artifacts to attack Shui Yunlan.

Jin Hongtao and the others, controlled by their Divine Souls, had their power even enhanced. The thrust of the Fourth-Grade Sword caused a mighty force to emerge.

Fortunately, the Weak Water Sword excels in countering strength with gentleness, perfectly restraining the blazing sharpness of the Golden Light Sword. Though the Sword Artifacts of the other three were strong, they were no match for Jin Hongtao.

Shui Yunlan's true combat strength far surpassed Jin Hongtao and the others, and with the Deep Blue Eye, she could always detect the weak points in the changing Sword Light.

The Weak Water Sword transformed into a soft flow of water, managing to withstand the siege of four people for the time being.

However, the two female investigators accompanying Shui Yunlan were far less competent.

Facing the sudden outbreak of high-intensity combat, the two female investigators were instantly slain by Jin Hongtao.

The Golden Light Sword's fierce and sharp nature held great advantages over opponents of the same level.

Yet Hai Ting didn't make a move; she stood quietly aside, watching as if she were just a bystander.

Protected by Shui Yunlan, Shui Yunhao was terrified. He huddled behind Shui Yunlan, resembling her little shadow.

Seeing the dire situation, Shui Yunhao's sharp eyes caught sight of Gao Xuan and Yuan Youyuan watching from afar.

He shouted loudly, "Brothers, come quickly to help, or we'll all die..."

Gao Xuan nodded, "Brother, hang on, we're on our way."

Though he said this, Gao Xuan remained unmoved.

Hai Ting gave Gao Xuan a somewhat puzzled look, unable to discern his intentions.

Yuan Youyuan, a bit worried, asked, "Is it okay for us to just watch like this?"

She whispered a reminder to Gao Xuan, "All combat data will be recorded on the Brain Machine. When the battle is reviewed later, we'll definitely be in trouble."

"In a battle of this level, going in would just get you killed."

Gao Xuan shook his head. Yuan Youyuan's Fifth-Grade Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor wouldn't withstand a full-force blow from the opponent.

Though Jin Hongtao and the others' Swordsmanship was somewhat lacking, it was only by comparison. Yuan Youyuan was much stronger than them, but there was too little margin for error.

If she were really struck by a Fourth-Grade Sword Artifact, even he couldn't save her.

Gao Xuan said, "You stay here and watch, I'll go lend a hand."

He drew the Electric Blade Sword, transforming into a bolt of lightning, cutting into the battlefield.

Gao Xuan intercepted Jin Hongtao's Golden Light Sword as soon as he made a move. Though his Electric Blade Sword was only Fifth-Grade, his Swordsmanship was extraordinarily strong.

The intense blue and white electric light of the Electric Blade Sword flickered continuously, shifting unpredictably between reality and illusion. Coupled with Gao Xuan's Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor, which operated at lightning speed, he surrounded Jin Hongtao with continuous moves, driving Jin Hongtao into retreat. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Although Jin Hongtao's Divine Soul was corrupted by the Evil God, he hadn't lost his memory. He already disliked Gao Xuan, and now being forced to retreat continuously by Gao Xuan made him furious.

After retreating dozens of steps, Jin Hongtao let out a frantic roar and swung his sword to strike.

His frenzied strike paid no mind to his own safety, but Gao Xuan's Electric Blade Sword seized the opportunity to pierce fiercely, the dazzling electric sword blade already upon Jin Hongtao's throat.

The Golden Light of Jin Hongtao's Profound Gold Armor surged, allowing it to forcefully block the Electric Blade Sword by virtue.

At this time, Jin Hongtao's Golden Light Sword also struck Gao Xuan's shoulder.

The Profound Gold Armor was a Fourth-Grade Battle Armor, renowned for its defensive power. This allowed it to easily block the Electric Blade Sword.

However, Gao Xuan's Thunder and Lightning Electromagnetic Armor could not withstand the Golden Light Sword.

The golden sword blade cut straight down, slicing the blue-white lightning-clad figure into two.

Yuan Youyuan, watching from afar, felt her heart tighten: Could it be that Gao Xuan was hit?

Even Shui Yunlan was startled. If Gao Xuan were killed as well, there would be hardly any chance of victory in this battle.

The Deep Blue Eye instantly conducted data analysis, and Shui Yunlan realized that what was sliced apart was merely an illusion.

Gao Xuan, with his instantaneous high-speed movement, not only deceived everyone's eyes but even tricked their Spiritual Sensing.

Jin Hongtao, already lacking in Swordsmanship, had his mind even more muddled due to the Evil God's corruption.

It wasn't until the sword descended, the blade striking empty and without any resistance, that he realized something was wrong.

Activating the Thunder and Light Escape Technique, Gao Xuan had already moved behind Jin Hongtao.

His left palm with the Dark Gold Hand Armor emerged, delivering a palm strike to Jin Hongtao's back.

With a loud bang, the heavy Profound Gold Armor was imprinted deeply with his palm strike.
